A shower or two is the weather forecast for the weekend, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.

The chance of receiving the 3-6mm on both days is low, and there is the possibility of a thunderstorm.

As usual, this time of year, it will be warm with 27 and 32 degrees predicted for Saturday and Sunday.

Is it me, or are the Christmas Markets occurring earlier this year?

The Lismore Base Hospital Auxiliary are holding their annual Christmas Craft Market this weekend, over both days:

• Saturday 22nd November 8:30am - 3:00pm
• Sunday 23rd November 9:00 - 1:00pm

All stalls will be undercover in the William Smith Pavilion at the Lismore Showgrounds. The Auxiliary will have a large range of home-baked goodies, pickles and jams, along with beautifully hand-crafted children’s clothing as well as crocheted, knitted and quilted items.

There will be over 30 local and visiting stallholders displaying and selling a wide variety of quality handcrafted products.

Lismore Lions Club will hold a BBQ, and Tuc will be there in his van to supply delicious coffee and food.

The volunteers of Lismore Base Hospital Auxiliary provide services for patients and raise money to purchase equipment for the Lismore Base Hospital, which benefits everyone in the community.

The volunteers are men and women from all walks of life contributing in all sorts of ways - eg sewing, baking, knitting, fundraising BBQs, selling raffle tickets and operating the Auxiliary Gift Shop in the Base Hospital foyer. 

MARKETS

While on markets, the Lismore Farmers Markets get underway at 7:30 tomorrow morning, selling fresh fruit and veg, Christmas gifts, and even Christmas Trees (or Daintree Pines). Croaker & the Honeybee will be providing the live music

The Nimbin Markets are on Sunday between 9am and 3pm on Cullen Street. If you are looking for a Christmas gift that is quirky or different, it may pay to head to the hills this weekend.
